“I don't want to say I'm surprised by how great working with Jessica has been, because that would imply I was expecting less. “But I think I have to, if only because I can't figure out a better way to say she surpassed my not insignificant faith and trust in her and her work product. I appreciated Jessica's flexibility and understanding leading up to my start date, I was grateful for her weekly updates, and I'm thrilled with what she's sent back to me.” — Erin Cox, copyediting client, author of ARISESSA
